WARNING conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.
Assumes that incorrect handling may cause hazardous
CAUTION conditions, resulting in medium or slight injury, or may
cause physical damage only.
Note that even the CAUTION level may lead to a serious consequence according to
conditions. Please follow the instructions of both levels because they are important
to personnel safety.
1. Electric Shock Prevention
WARNING
While power is on or when the inverter is running, do not open the front cover.
You may get an electric shock.
Do not run the inverter with the front cover removed. Otherwise, you may access
the exposed high-voltage terminals or the charging part of the circuitry and get
an electric shock.
If power is off, do not remove the front cover except for wiring or periodic
inspection. You may access the charged inverter circuits and get an electric
shock.
Before starting wiring or inspection, check for residual voltages with a meter etc.
more than 10 minutes after power-off.
Earth the inverter.
Any person who is involved in wiring or inspection of this equipment should be
fully competent to do the work.
Always install the inverter before wiring. Otherwise, you may get an electric
shock or be injured.
Perform setting dial and key operations with dry hands to prevent an electric shock.
Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or
pinching. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock.
Do not change the cooling fan while power is on.
It is dangerous to change the cooling fan while power is on.
When you have removed the front cover, do not touch the connector above the
3-digit monitor LED display. You will get an electric shock.

2. Fire Prevention
CAUTION
Mount the inverter to incombustible material. Mounting it to or near combustible
material can cause a fire.
If the inverter has become faulty, switch off the inverter power. A continuous flow
of large current could cause a fire.
Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals P(+), N(−). This could
cause a fire.
3. Injury Prevention
CAUTION
Apply only the voltage specified in the instruction manual to each terminal to
prevent damage etc.
Ensure that the cables are connected to the correct terminals. Otherwise,
damage etc. may occur.
Always make sure that polarity is correct to prevent damage etc.
While power is on and for some time after power-off, do not touch the inverter or
brake resistor as they are hot and you may get burnt.
4. Additional instructions
Also note the following points to prevent an accidental failure, injury, electric shock, etc.
(1) Transportation and installation
CAUTION
When carrying products, use correct lifting gear to prevent injury.
Do not stack the inverter boxes higher than the number recommended.
Ensure that installation position and material can withstand the weight of the
inverter. Install according to the information in the Instruction Manual.
Do not operate if the inverter is damaged or has parts missing.
When carrying the inverter, do not hold it by the front cover or setting dial; it may fall off
or fail.
Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the inverter.
Check the inverter mounting orientation is correct.
Prevent screws, wire fragments, other conductive bodies, oil or other flammable
substances from entering the inverter.
Do not drop the inverter, or subject it to impact.
Use the inverter under the following environmental conditions:
Ambient
-10°C to +50°C (14°F to 122°F) (non-freezing)
temperature
Ambient humidity 90%RH or less (non-condensing)
Storage
Environment
-20°C to +65°C * (-4°F to 149°F)

temperature
Indoors (free from corrosive gas, flammable gas,
Ambience
oil mist, dust and dirt)
Maximum 1000m (3280.80feet) above sea level for
standard operation. After that derate by 3% for
Altitude, vibration every extra 500m (1640.40feet) up to 2500m
(8202.00feet) (91%).
5.9m/s2 or less (conforming to JIS C 0040)
*Temperatures applicable for a short time, e.g. in transit.
A-2

(2) Wiring
CAUTION
Do not fit capacitive equipment such as power factor correction capacitor, radio
noise filter or surge suppressor to the output of the inverter.
The connection orientation of the output cables U, V, W to the motor will affect
the direction of rotation of the motor.
(3) Trial run
CAUTION
Check all parameters, and ensure that the machine will not be damaged by a
sudden start-up.
When the load GD2 is small (at the motor GD2 or smaller) for 400V from 1.5K to
3.7K, the output current may vary when the output frequency is in the 20Hz to
30Hz range.
If this is a problem, set the Pr. 72 "PWM frecuency selection" to 6kHz or higher.
When setting the PWM to a higher frequency, check for noise or leakage current
problem and take countermeasures against it.
(4) Operation
WARNING
When you have chosen the retry function, stay away from the equipment as it will
restart suddenly after an alarm stop.
The [STOP] key is valid only when the appropriate function setting has been
made. Prepare an emergency stop switch separately.
Make sure that the start signal is off before resetting the inverter alarm. A failure
to do so may restart the motor suddenly.
The load used should be a three-phase induction motor only. Connection of any
other electrical equipment to the inverter output may damage the equipment.
Do not modify the equipment.
CAUTION
The electronic overcurrent protection does not guarantee protection of the motor
from overheating.
Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter input for frequent
starting/stopping of the inverter.
Use a noise filter to reduce the effect of electromagnetic interference. Otherwise
nearby electronic equipment may be affected.
Take measures to suppress harmonics. Otherwise power harmonics from the
inverter may heat/damage the power capacitor and generator.
When a 400V class motor is inverter-driven, it should be insulation-enhanced or
surge voltages suppressed. Surge voltages attributable to the wiring constants
may occur at the motor terminals, deteriorating the insulation of the motor.
When parameter clear or all clear is performed, each parameter returns to the
factory setting. Re-set the required parameters before starting operation.
The inverter can be easily set for high-speed operation. Before changing its
setting, fully examine the performances of the motor and machine.
In addition to the inverter's holding function, install a holding device to ensure
safety.
Before running an inverter which had been stored for a long period, always
perform inspection and test operation.
A-3

(6) Maintenance, inspection and parts replacement
CAUTION
Do not carry out a megger (insulation resistance) test on the control circuit of the
inverter.
(7) Disposing of the inverter
CAUTION
Treat as industrial waste.
(8) General instructions
Many of the diagrams and drawings in this instruction manual show the inverter
without a cover, or partially open. Never operate the inverter like this. Always
replace the cover and follow this instruction manual when operating the inverter.

Wiring length
100m (328.08feet) maximum. (50m (164.04feet) maximum for the FR-S540-0.4K.)
CAUTION
• When the wiring length of the 0.1K or 0.2K is 30m (98.43feet) or more, use the
carrier frequency to 1kHz.
• Use the carrier frequency of 1kHz when the wiring length of the FR-S540-0.4K,
0.75K is 30m (98.43feet) or more.
• The wiring length should be 30m (98.43feet) maximum when automatic torque
boost is selected in Pr. 98 "automatic torque boost selection (motor capacity)".
(Refer to page 109)
1.5.2 Wiring instructions

1) Use insulation-sleeved crimping terminals for the power supply and motor cables.
2) Application of power to the output terminals (U, V, W) of the inverter will damage
the inverter. Never perform such wiring.
3) After wiring, wire off-cuts must not be left in the inverter.
Wire off-cuts can cause an alarm, failure or malfunction. Always keep the inverter
clean.
When drilling a control box etc., take care not to let wire off-cuts enter the inverter.
4) Use cables of the recommended size to make a voltage drop 2% maximum.

If the wiring distance is long between the inverter and motor, a main circuit cable
voltage drop will cause the motor torque to decrease especially at the output of a
low frequency.
5) For long distance wiring, the fast-response current limit function may be reduced or
the devices connected to the secondary side may malfunction or become faulty
under the influence of a charging current due to the stray capacity of wiring.
Therefore, note the maximum overall wiring length.
6) Electromagnetic wave interference

The input/output (main circuit) of the inverter includes harmonic components, which
may interfere with the communication devices (such as AM radios) used near the
inverter. In this case, install the optional FR-BIF radio noise filter (for use in the
input side only) or FR-BSF01 or FR-BLF line noise filter to minimize interference.
7) Do not install a power capacitor, surge suppressor or radio noise filter (FR-BIF
option) in the output side of the inverter.
This will cause the inverter to trip or the capacitor and surge suppressor to be
damaged. If any of the above devices are connected, remove them. (When using
the FR-BIF radio noise filter with a single-phase power supply, connect it to the
input side of the inverter after isolating the T <L3> phase securely.)
8) Before starting rewiring or other work after performing operation once, check the
voltage with a meter etc. more than 10 minutes after power-off. For some time after
power-off, there is a dangerous voltage in the capacitor.

1.5.4 Leakage current and installation of earth leakage circuit breaker
Due to static capacitances existing in the inverter I/O wiring and motor, leakage
currents flow through them. Since their values depend on the static capacitances,
carrier frequency, etc., take the following counter measures.
(1) To-ground leakage currents
Leakage currents may flow not only into the inverter's own line but also into the
other line through the ground cable, etc.
These leakage currents may operate earth leakage circuit breakers and earth
leakage relays unnecessarily.
Counter measures
If the carrier frequency setting is high, decrease the carrier frequency (Pr. 72) of
the inverter.
Note that motor noise increases. Selection of Soft-PWM control (Pr. 70) will make
it unoffending. (Factory setting)
By using earth leakage circuit breakers designed for harmonic and surge
suppression (e.g. Mitsubishi's Progressive Super Series) in the inverter's own line
and other line, operation can be performed with the carrier frequency kept high
(with low noise).
(2) Line-to-line leakage currents

unnecessarily. Line-to-Line Leakage Current Path
Counter measures
Use the electronic overcurrent protection of the inverter.
Decrease the carrier frequency. Note that motor noise increases. Selection of
Soft-PWM (Pr. 70) makes it unoffending.
To ensure that the motor is protected against line-to-line leakage currents, it is 1
recommended to use a temperature sensor to directly detect motor temperature.
Installation and selection of no-fuse breaker
On the power receiving side, install a no-fuse breaker (NFB) to protect the primary
wiring of the inverter. Which NFB to choose depends on the power supply side
power factor (which changes with the power supply voltage, output frequency and
load) of the inverter. Especially as the completely electromagnetic type NFB
changes in operational characteristic with harmonic currents, you need to choose
the one of a little larger capacity. (Check the data of the corresponding breaker.)
For the earth leakage circuit breaker, use our product designed for harmonic and
surge suppression (Progressive Super Series). (Refer to page 13 for the
recommended models.)
CAUTION
Choose the NFB type according to the power supply capacity.
15

(3) Selecting the rated sensitivity current for the earth leakage circuit
breaker
When using the earth leakage circuit breaker with the inverter circuit, select its rated
sensitivity current as follows, independently of the PWM carrier frequency:

CAUTION
• The earth leakage circuit breaker should be installed to the primary (power
supply) side of the inverter.
• In the connection neutral point grounded system, the sensitivity current
becomes worse for ground faults in the inverter secondary side. Hence, the
protective grounding of the load equipment should be 10Ω or less.
• When the breaker is installed in the secondary side of the inverter, it may be
unnecessarily operated by harmonics if the effective value is less than the rating. In this
case, do not install the breaker since the eddy current and hysteresis loss increase and
the temperature rises.
* Note the leakage current value of the noise filter installed on the inverter input
side.

Inverter Start/Stop Circuit Example
(1) Inverter's primary side magnetic contactor (MC)
On the inverter's primary side, it is recommended to provide an MC for the following
purposes (Refer to page 13 for selection.):
1) To release the inverter from the power supply when the inverter's protective
function is activated or when the drive is not functioning (e.g. emergency stop
operation).
2) To prevent an accident caused by an automatic restart made at power restoration 1
after an inverter stop due to a power failure.
3) To rest the inverter for a long time.
The control power supply for inverter is always running and consumes a little
power. When stopping the inverter for a long time, switching inverter power off
saves power slightly.
4) To separate the inverter from the power supply to ensure safety of
maintenance/inspection work.
As the inverter's primary MC is used for the above purposes, it is equivalent to the
standard duty and select the one of class JEM1038-AC3 for the inverter input side

1.5.6 Regarding the installation of the power factor improving reactor
When the inverter is installed near a large-capacity power transformer (500kVA or
more at the wiring length of 10m (32.81feet) or less) or the power capacitor is to be
switched, an excessive peak current will flow in the power supply input circuit,
damaging the converter circuit. In such a case, always install the power factor
improving reactor (FR-BEL or FR-BAL).

REMARKS
* When connecting the FR-BEL, remove the jumper across terminals P<+>-P1.
The wiring length between FR-BEL and inverter should be 5m (16.40feet)
maximum and as short as possible.
Use the cables which are equal in size to those of the main circuit. (Refer to page
11)
1.5.7 Regarding noise and the installation of a noise filter

Some noise enters the inverter causing it to malfunction and others are generated by
the inverter causing the malfunction of peripheral devices. Though the inverter is
designed to be insusceptible to noise, it handles low-level signals, so it requires the
following general counter measures to be taken.
General counter measures

Do not run the power cables (I/O cables) and signal cables of the inverter in
parallel with each other and do not bundle them.
Use twisted shield cables for the detector connecting and control signal cables
and connect the sheathes of the shield cables to terminal SD.
Ground the inverter, motor, etc. at one point.
Capacitances exist between the inverter's I/O wiring, other cables, earth and
motor, through which leakage currents flow to cause the earth leakage circuit
breaker, earth leakage relay and external thermal relay to operate unnecessarily.
To prevent this, take appropriate measures, e.g. set the carrier frequency in Pr. 72
to a low value, use an earth leakage circuit breaker designed for suppression of
harmonics and surges, and use the electronic overcurrent protection built in the
inverter.

1.5.8 Grounding precautions

Leakage currents flow in the inverter. To prevent an electric shock, the inverter and
motor must be grounded.
Use the dedicated ground terminal to ground the inverter. (Do not use the screw in
the casing, chassis, etc.)
Use a tinned* crimping terminal to connect the earth cable. When tightening the
screw, be careful not to break the threads.
*Plating should not include zinc.
Use the thickest possible ground cable. Use the cable whose size is equal to or
greater than that indicated in the following table, and minimize the cable length. 1
The grounding point should be as near as possible to the inverter.

1.5.9 Regarding power harmonics
The inverter may generate power harmonics from its converter circuit to affect the
power generator, power capacitor etc. Power harmonics are different from noise and
leakage currents in source, frequency band and transmission path. Take the following
counter measure suppression techniques.
The following table indicates differences between harmonics and noise:

CAUTION
The power factor improving capacitor and surge suppressor on the inverter output
side may be overheated or damaged by the harmonic components of the inverter
output. Also, since an excessive current flows in the inverter to activate overcurrent
protection, do not provide a capacitor and surge suppressor on the inverter output
side when the motor is driven by the inverter. To improve the power factor, insert a
power factor improving reactor in the inverter's primary side or DC circuit. For full
information, refer to page 18.
1.5.10 Japanese power harmonic suppression guideline

Harmonic currents flow from the inverter to a power receiving point via a power
transformer. The harmonic suppression guideline was established to protect other
consumers from these outgoing harmonics.
1) [Harmonic suppression guideline for household appliances and general-purpose
products]
The "harmonic suppression guideline for household appliances and general-purpose
products" issued by ex-Ministry of International Trade and Industry (present Ministry
of Economy, Trade and Industry) in September, 1994 applies to the FR-S500 series
other than the three-phase 400V class. By installing the FR-BEL or FR-BAL power
factor improving reactor, this product complies with the "harmonic suppression
techniques for transistorized inverters (input current 20A or less)" established by the
Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association.
20

2) "Harmonic suppression guideline for specific consumers"
This guideline sets forth the maximum values of harmonic currents outgoing from a
high-voltage or specially high-voltage consumer who will install, add or renew
harmonic generating equipment. If any of the maximum values is exceeded, this
guideline requires that consumer to take certain suppression measures.

1) Calculation of equivalent capacity (P0) of harmonic generating equipment

The "equivalent capacity" is the capacity of a 6-pulse converter converted from the
capacity of consumer's harmonic generating equipment and is calculated with the
following equation. If the sum of equivalent capacities is higher than the limit in
Table 3, harmonics must be calculated with the following procedure:
P0=Σ (Ki× Pi) [kVA] *Rated capacity: Determined by the

Ki: Conversion factor (refer to Table 2) capacity of the applied motor and
Pi: Rated capacity of harmonic found in Table 5. It should be noted

i: Number indicating the conversion used to calculate a generated
circuit type harmonic amount and is different

2) Calculation of outgoing harmonic current

Outgoing harmonic current = fundamental wave current (value converterd from
received power voltage) × operation ratio × harmonic
content
• Operation ratio: Operation ratio = actual load factor × operation time ratio during
30 minutes
• Harmonic content: Found in Table 4.

1.6.2 Wiring instructions

1) Terminals SD, SE and 5 are common to the I/O signals. These common terminals
must not be earthed.
2) Use shielded or twisted cables for connection to the control circuit terminals and run
them away from the main and power circuits (including the 200V relay sequence
circuit).
3) The input signals to the control circuit are micro currents. When contacts are
required, use two or more parallel micro signal contacts or a twin contact to prevent
a contact fault.

CAUTION
• Make sure that the front cover is installed securely.
• The front cover is fitted with the capacity plate and the inverter unit with the rating
plate. Since these plates have the same serial numbers, always replace the
removed cover onto the original inverter.
• The sink-source logic change-over connector must be fitted in only one of those
positions. If it is fitted in both positions at the same time, the inverter may be
damaged.

1.7 Input Terminals
1.7.1 Run (start) and stop (STF, STR, STOP)
To start and stop the motor, first switch on the input power supply of the inverter
(switch on the magnetic contactor, if any, in the input circuit during preparation for
operation), then start the motor with the forward or reverse rotation start signal.

operation, refer to page 32.)
3) After the start signal has been input, the inverter starts operating when the
frequency setting signal reaches or exceeds the "starting frequency" set in Pr. 13
(factory-set to 0.5Hz).
If the motor load torque is large or the "torque boost" set in Pr. 0 is small, operation
may not be started due to insufficient torque until the inverter output frequency
reaches about 3 to 6Hz.
If the "minimum frequency" set in Pr. 2 (factory setting = 0Hz) is 6Hz, for example,
merely entering the start signal causes the running frequency to reach the minimum
frequency of 6Hz according to the "acceleration time" set in Pr. 7.
4) To stop the motor, operate the DC injection brake for the period of "DC injection
brake operation time" set in Pr. 11 (factory setting = 0.5s) at not more than the DC
injection brake operation frequency or at not more than 0.5Hz.
To disable the DC injection brake function, set 0 in either of Pr. 11 "DC injection
brake operation time" and Pr. 12 "DC injection brake voltage".
In this case, the motor is coasted to a stop at not more than the frequency set in
Pr. 10 "DC injection brake operation frequency" (0 to 120Hz variable) or at not more
than 0.5Hz (when the DC dynamic brake is not operated).
5) If the reverse rotation signal is input during forward rotation or the forward rotation
signal is input during reverse rotation, the inverter is decelerated and then switched
to the opposite output without going through the stop mode.

1.7.2 Connection of frequency setting potentiometer and output
frequency meter (10, 2, 5, 4, AU)
The analog frequency setting input signals that may be entered are voltage and
current signals.
For the relationships between the frequency setting input voltages (currents) and
output frequencies, refer to the following diagram. The frequency setting input signals
are proportional to the output frequencies. Note that when the input signal is less than
the starting frequency, the output frequency of the inverter is 0Hz.
If the input signal of 5VDC (or 10V, 20mA) or higher is entered, the output frequency
does not exceed the maximum output frequency.

1.7.4 Indicator connection and adjustment
(1) Japanese version (FM)
The output frequency, etc. of the inverter can be indicated by a DC ammeter of 1mA
full-scale deflection and maximum 300Ω internal resistance or a commercially
available digital indicator which is connected across terminals FM-SD.
The indicator can be calibrated from the operation panel or parameter unit. Note that
the reading varies according to the wiring distance if the indicator is placed away from
the inverter. In this case, connect a calibration resistor in series with the indicator as
shown below and adjust until the reading matches the operation panel or parameter
unit indication (indicator monitoring mode).
Install the indicator within 200m (656.16feet) (50m (164.04feet) for the digital
indicator) of the inverter and connect them by at least 0.3mm2 twisted or shielded
cables.

REMARKS
* Not needed when calibration is made using the calibration parameter C1 "FM
terminal calibration". This resistor is used when calibration must be made near the
frequency meter for such a reason as a remote frequency meter. Note that the
needle of the frequency meter may not deflect to full-scale when the calibration
resistor is connected. In this case, use both the resistor and calibration parameter
"C1".
CAUTION
• Refer to page 111 for the procedure of indicator adjustment.

Output waveform of terminal FM
The output signal of terminal FM has a pulse waveform as shown in the table below
and the number of its pulses is proportional to the inverter output frequency.
The output voltage (average voltage) is also proportional to the output frequency.

When using the operation panel or parameter unit for adjustment, change the pulse
width of the output waveform (calibration parameter "C1") (adjust the current through
the adjustment of the output voltage) to adjust the reading. (For details, refer to page
111.)
REMARKS
It is not recommended to use a voltage type indicator because it is easily affected
by a voltage drop, induction noise, etc. and may not provide correct reading if the
wiring distance is long.
35

Digital indicator
Since the digital indicator counts and displays the number of pulses, adjust it from
the operation panel or parameter unit.
The inverter output, at which the reference pulses of 1440 pulses/s are output, can
be set in Pr. 55 when frequency monitoring is used as reference, or in Pr. 56 when
current monitoring is used as reference.
[Example] 1. To set the output across FM-SD to 1440 pulses/s at the inverter output
frequency of 120Hz, set "120" (Hz) in Pr. 55. (Factory setting: 60Hz)
2. To set the output across FM-SD to 1440 pulses/s at the inverter output
current of 15A, set "15" (A) in Pr. 56. (Factory setting: rated inverter
current)

Terminal AM is isolated from the control
circuit of the inverter. The cable length
should not exceed 30m (98.44feet).
The output signal from terminal AM Inverter
delays about several 100ms in output
and therefore cannot be used as a
signal for control which requires fast
response.

Set it in Pr. 55 for frequency monitoring reference, or in Pr. 56 for current monitoring
reference.
Use the terminal AM output calibration parameter C1 to adjust the output voltage.
[Example] 1. To set the output across AM-5 to 5VDC at the inverter output frequency
of 90Hz, set 90Hz in Pr. 55. (Factory setting: 50Hz)
2. To set the output across AM-5 to 5VDC at the inverter output current of
20A, set 20A in Pr. 56. (Factory setting: rated inverter current)
CAUTION
• Refer to page 113 for the procedure of indicator adjustment.

1.7.5 Control circuit common terminals (SD, 5, SE)
Terminals SD, 5, and SE are all common terminals (0V) for I/O signals and are
isolated from each other.
Terminal SD is a common terminal for the contact input terminals (STF, STR, RH, RM,
RL) and frequency output signal (FM).
Terminal 5 is a common terminal for the frequency setting analog input signals and
indicator terminal "AM". It should be protected from external noise using a shielded or
twisted cable.
Terminal SE is a common terminal for the open collector output terminal (RUN).
REMARKS
Terminal FM is provided for the FR-S520-0.1K to 3.7K (-R) (-C), FR-S520S-0.1K to
1.5K (-R) and FR-S510W-0.1K to 0.75 (-R), and terminal AM is provided for the
FR-S520-0.1K to 3.7K-NA, FR-S520S-0.2K to 1.5K-EC (R) and FR-S510W-0.1K to
0.75K-NA.
1.7.6 Signal inputs by contactless switches

If a transistor is used instead of a +24V
contacted switch as shown on the right,
the input signals of the inverter can
control terminals STF, STR, RH, RM,
RL. STF, etc.

By entering frequency commands into the RL, RM, RH and REX signals and turning
on/off the corresponding signals, you can perform multi-speed operation (15

(3) To coast the motor to stop
The motor is decelerated according to the preset deceleration time and is
stopped by operating the DC injection brake at 3Hz or less. By using terminal
MRS, the motor is coasted to a stop.
1.8.6 External thermal relay input: Setting "7"

When the external thermal relay or thermal relay built Thermal relay
Inverter Motor
in the motor is actuated, the inverter output is shut U
off and an alarm signal is given to keep the motor V IM

stopped to protect the motor from overheat. If the OH
thermal relay contact is reset, the motor is not SD
restarted unless the reset terminal RES-SD is
shorted for more than 0.1s and then opened or
power-on reset is performed.
The function may therefore be used as an external
emergency stop signal input.

The JOG signal has precedence over the multi-speed signal. (External)
1.8.8 Reset signal: Setting "10"
Used to reset the alarm stop state established when the inverter's protective function is
activated. The reset signal immediately sets the control circuit to the initial (cold) status,
e.g. initializes the electronic overcurrent protection circuit. It shuts off the inverter output
at the same time. During reset, the inverter output is kept shut off. To give this reset
input, short terminals RES-SD for more than 0.1 second. When the shorting time is long,
the operation panel or parameter unit displays the initial screen, which is not a fault.
Operation is enabled after terminals RES-SD are opened.
The reset terminal is used to reset the inverter alarm stop state. If the reset terminal is
shorted, then opened while the inverter is running, the motor may be restarted during
coasting (refer to the timing chart below) and the output may be shut off due to
overcurrent or overvoltage.
Setting either of "1" and "15" in reset selection Pr. 75 allows the accidental input of the
reset signal during operation to be unaccepted.

*1. Make connection in accordance with the instruction manual of the computer to be
used with. Fully check the terminal numbers of the computer since they change with
the model.
*2. The inverters may be affected by reflection depending on the transmission speed or
transmission distance. If this reflection hinders communication, provide a termination
resistor. When the RS-485 connector is used for connection, a termination resistor
cannot be fitted, so use a distributor. Connect the termination resistor to only the

1.10 Design Information
1) Provide electrical and mechanical interlocks for MC1 and MC2 which are used for
commercial power supply-inverter switch-over.
When there is a commercial power supply-inverter switch-over circuit as shown
below, the inverter will be damaged by leakage current from the power supply due
to arcs generated at the time of switch-over or chattering caused by a sequence
error.
2) If the machine must not be restarted when power is restored after a power failure,
provide a magnetic contactor in the inverter's primary circuit and also make up a
sequence which will not switch on the start signal.
If the start signal (start switch) remains on after a power failure, the inverter will
automatically restart as soon as the power is restored.
3) Since the input signals to the control circuit are on a low level, use two or more
parallel micro signal contacts or a twin contact for contact inputs to prevent a
contact fault.
4) Do not apply a large voltage to the contact input terminals (e.g. STF) of the control
circuit.
5) Always apply a voltage to the alarm output terminals (A, B, C) via a relay coil, lamp
etc.
6) Make sure that the specifications and rating match the system requirements.

REMARKS
Parameter copy
Use of the parameter unit (FR-PU04) with the type having the
RS-485 communication function allows the parameter values to
be copied to another inverter (only the FR-S500 series). Chapter 3
After batch-reading the parameters of the copy source inverter,
you can connect the parameter unit to the copy destination
inverter and batch-write the parameters.
For the operation procedure, refer to the instruction manual of the

<Setting>
Assuming that the base frequency voltage is 100%, set the 0Hz voltage in %.
Use the RT signal to switch between two different torque boosts. (Turn on the RT
signal to make Pr. 46 valid(*).)
REMARKS
* The RT signal acts as the second function selection signal and makes the other
second functions valid.
When using an inverter-dedicated motor (constant-torque motor), make setting as
indicated below.
• FR-S520-0.1K to 0.75K ..... 6%, FR-S520-1.5K to 3.7K ..... 4%
• FR-S540-0.4K, 0.75K ..... 6%, FR-S540-1.5K ..... 4%,
FR-S540-2.2K, 3.7K ..... 3%
• FR-S520S-0.1K to 0.75K ..... 6%, FR-S520S-1.5K ..... 4%
• FR-S510W-0.1K to 0.75K ..... 6%
If you leave the factory setting as it is and change the Pr. 71 value to the setting for
use of the constant-torque motor, the Pr. 0 setting changes to the above value.
CAUTION
• Selecting automatic torque boost control makes this parameter setting invalid.
• A too large setting may cause the motor to overheat or result in an overcurrent
trip. The guideline is about 10% at the greatest.

2 Minimum frequency 0Hz 0 to 120Hz
<Setting>
Use Pr. 1 to set the upper limit of the output frequency. If the frequency of the
frequency command entered is higher than the setting, the output frequency is
clamped at the maximum frequency.
Use Pr. 2 to set the lower limit of the output frequency.
REMARKS
When using the potentiometer (frequency setting potentiometer) connected across
terminals 2-5 to perform operation above 60Hz <50Hz>, change the Pr. 1 and Pr. 38
(Pr. 39 when using the potentiometer across terminals 4-5) values.
CAUTION
When the Pr. 2 setting is higher than the Pr. 13 "starting frequency" value, note
that the motor will run at the set frequency by merely switching the start signal
on, without entering the command frequency.

*3 Twice greater than the power supply voltage for the FR-S510W-0.1K to 0.75K.
<Setting>
In Pr. 3 and Pr. 47, set the base frequency (motor's rated frequency).
Use the RT signal to switch between these two different base frequencies.
(Turn on the RT signal to make Pr. 47 valid.) (*)
When running the standard motor, generally set the "base frequency" to the rated
frequency of the motor. When running the motor using commercial power supply-
inverter switch-over operation, set the base frequency to the same value as the
power supply frequency.
When the frequency given on the motor's rating plate is only "50Hz", always set the
"base frequency" to "50Hz". Leaving the base frequency unchanged from "60Hz"
may make the voltage too low and the torque insufficient, resulting in an overload
trip. Special care must be taken when "1" is set in Pr. 14 "load pattern selection".
Set the base voltage (e.g. rated voltage of motor) in Pr. 19.
CAUTION
1. Set 60Hz in Pr. 3 "base frequency" when using a Mitsubishi constant-torque motor.
2. When automatic torque boost is selected, Pr. 47 is invalid. When automatic
torque boost is selected, setting "- - -" or "888" in Pr. 19 uses the rated output
voltage.
REMARKS
* The RT signal serves as the second function selection signal and makes the
other second functions valid.

2.3.4 Multi-speed operation to to
Used to switch between the predetermined running speeds.
Any speed can be selected by merely switching on/off the corresponding
contact signals (RH, RM, RL, REX signals).
By using these functions with Pr. 1 "maximum frequency" and Pr. 2 "minimum
frequency", up to 17 speeds can be set.
This function is valid in the external operation mode or in the combined
operation mode which is available when Pr. 79 = "3" or "4".

2.3.6 Electronic overcurrent protection
Set the current of the electronic overcurrent protection to protect the motor from
overheat. This feature provides the optimum protective characteristics, including
reduced motor cooling capability, at low speed.
Parameter Name Factory Setting Setting Range
9 Electronic thermal O/L relay Rated output current * 0 to 50A
* 0.1K to 0.75K are set to 85% of the rated inverter current.
<Setting>
Set the rated current [A] of the motor.
(Normally set the rated current at 50Hz if the motor has both 50Hz and 60Hz rated
current.)
Setting "0" in Pr. 9 disables electronic thermal O/L relay (motor protective function).
(The protective function of the inverter is activated.)
When using a Mitsubishi constant-torque motor, first set "1" in Pr. 71 "applied motor"
to choose the 100% continuous torque characteristic in the low-speed range. Then,
set the rated motor current in Pr. 9 "electronic thermal O/L relay".
CAUTION
• When two or more motors are connected to the inverter, they cannot be protected
by the electronic overcurrent protection. Install an external thermal relay to each
motor.
• When the difference between the inverter and motor capacities is large and the
setting is small, the protective characteristics of the electronic overcurrent
protection will be deteriorated. In this case, use an external thermal relay.
• A special motor cannot be protected by the electronic overcurrent protection.
Use an external thermal relay.

2.3.12 Stall prevention function and current limit function
You can make settings to disable stall prevention caused by overcurrent and to
disable the fast-response current limit (which limits the current to prevent the
inverter from resulting in an overcurrent trip if an excessive current occurs due to
sudden load variation or ON-OFF, etc. in the output side of the running inverter).
•Stall prevention
If the current exceeds the limit value, the output frequency of the inverter is
automatically varied to reduce the current.
•Fast-response Current limit
If the current exceeds the limit value, the output of the inverter is shut off to
prevent an overcurrent.

CAUTION
•* When "Operation not continued for OL signal output" is selected, the "OLT" alarm
code (stopped by stall prevention) is displayed and operation stopped.
(Alarm stop display " ")
• If the load is heavy, the lift is predetermined, or the acceleration/deceleration time
is short, the stall prevention may be activated and the motor not stopped in the
preset acceleration/deceleration time. Therefore, set optimum values to the Pr. 21
and stall prevention operation level.
• When the fast-response current limit has been set in Pr. 21 (factory setting),
torque will not be provided at the Pr. 22 setting of 170% or higher. At this time,
make setting so that the fast-response current limit is not activated.
• In vertical lift applications, make setting so that the fast-response current limit is
not activated. Torque may not be produced, causing a gravity drop.
CAUTION
Always perform test operation.
Stall prevention operation performed during acceleration may increase the
acceleration time.
Stall prevention operation performed during constant speed may cause sudden
speed changes.
Stall prevention operation performed during deceleration may increase the
deceleration time, increasing the deceleration distance.
2.3.13 Stall prevention

Set the output current level at which the output frequency will be adjusted to
prevent the inverter from stopping due to overcurrent etc.
During high-speed operation above the rated motor frequency, acceleration
may not be made because the motor current does not increase. To improve
the operating characteristics of the motor in this case, the stall prevention level
can be reduced in the high frequency region. This function is effective for
performing operation up to the high speed range on a centrifugal separator
etc. Normally, set 60Hz <50Hz> in Pr. 28 "stall prevention operation reduction
starting frequency" and 100% in Pr. 23.

By setting "- - -" (factory setting) in Pr. 23, the stall prevention operation level is

REMARKS
When the fast-response current limit is set in Pr. 21 "stall prevention function
selection" (factory setting), do not set any value above 170% in Pr. 22. The torque
will not be developed by doing so.
If the Pr. 22 value is set to higher than 170%, make setting in Pr. 21 to disable the
fast-response current limit.
In vertical lift applications, make setting so the fast-response current limit is not
cativated. Torque may not be produced, causing a gravity drop.
CAUTION
Do not set a small value as the stall prevention operation current.
Otherwise, torque generated will reduce.
Test operation must be performed.
Stall prevention operation during acceleration may increase the acceleration time.
Stall prevention operation during constant speed may change the speed suddenly.
Stall prevention operation during deceleration may increase the deceleration
time, increasing the deceleration distance.

CAUTION
• The frequency can be varied by RH (acceleration) and RM (deceleration)
between 0 and the maximum frequency (Pr. 1 setting).
• When the acceleration or deceleration signal switches on, the set frequency
varies according to the slope set in Pr. 44 "second acceleration/deceleration time"
or Pr. 45 "second deceleration time". The output frequency acceleration and
deceleration times are as set in Pr. 7 "acceleration time" and Pr. 8 "deceleration
time", respectively. Therefore, the longer preset times are used to vary the actual
output frequency.
• If the start signal (STF or STR) is off, turning on the acceleration (RH) or
deceleration (RM) signal varies the preset frequency.
CAUTION
When selecting this function, re-set the maximum frequency according to the
machine.

2.10 Operation Selection Function Parameters
2.10.1 Retry function
When any protective function (major fault) is activated and the inverter stops its
output, the inverter itself resets automatically and performs retries. You can
select whether retry is made or not, alarms reset for retry, number of retries
made, and waiting time.

* If the retry count is exceeded, " " (retry count excess) is displayed.
Use Pr. 68 to set the waiting time from when an inverter alarm occurs until a restart
in the range 0.1 to 360s.
Reading the Pr. 69 value provides the cumulative number of successful restart times
made by retry. The setting of "0" erases the cumulative number of times.
91

CAUTION
• The cumulative number in Pr. 69 is incremented by "1" when retry operation is
regarded as successful, i.e. when normal operation is continued without the
protective function (major fault) activated during a period four times longer than
the time set in Pr. 68.
• If the protective function (major fault) is activated consecutively within a period four
times longer than the above waiting time, the control panel may show data different
from the most recent data or the parameter unit (FR-PU04) may show data different
from the first retry data. The data stored as the error reset for retry is only that of the
protective function (major fault) which was activated the first time.
• When an inverter alarm is reset by the retry function at the retry time, the stored
data of the electronic overcurrent protection, etc. are not cleared. (Different from
the power-on reset.)
CAUTION
When you have selected the retry function, stay away from the motor and
machine unless required. They will start suddenly (after the reset time has
elapsed) after occurrence of an alarm.
When you have selected the retry function, apply in easily visible places the
CAUTION seals supplied to the instruction manual (basic).

REMARKS
If the MRS signal is on, the operation mode cannot be switched to the PU
operation mode when the start signal (STF, STR) is on.
*1. The operation mode switches to the external operation mode independently of
whether the start signal (STF, STR) is on or off.
Therefore, the motor is run in the external operation mode when the MRS signal
is switched off with either of STF and STR on.
*2. Switching the MRS signal on and rewriting the Pr. 79 value to other than "7" in
the PU operation mode causes the MRS signal to act as the ordinary MRS
function (output stop). Also as soon as "7" is set in Pr. 79, the signal acts as the
PU interlock signal.
(2) Operation mode switching by external signal

1) Preparation
Set "8" (switching to other than external operation mode) in Pr. 79.
Use any of Pr. 60 to Pr. 63 (input terminal function selection) to set the terminal
used for X16 signal input.
REMARKS
When terminal assignment is changed using Pr. 60 to Pr. 63, the other functions
may be affected.

*When calibration Use Pr. 38 and calibration parameters C2 to C4 (terminal 2)
is required and Pr. 39 and calibration parameters C5 to C7 (terminal 4) to
calibrate the detector output and set point setting input.
Make calibration in the PU mode when the inverter is at a stop.
107

<Set point input calibration>
1. Apply the input voltage of 0% set point setting (e.g. 0V) across terminals 2-5.
2. Make calibration using the calibration parameters C2, C3. At this time, enter in C2
the frequency which should be output by the inverter at the deviation of 0% (e.g.
0Hz). (When using the FR-PU04, make calibration with Pr. 902.)
3. Apply the voltage of 100% set point (e.g. 5V) to across terminals 2-5.
4. Make calibration using Pr. 38 and calibration parameter C4. At this time, enter in
Pr. 38 the frequency which should be output by the inverter at the deviation of
100% (e.g. 60Hz). (When using the FR-PU04, make calibration with Pr. 903.)
<Detector output calibration>

1. Apply the output current of 0% detector setting (e.g. 4mA) across terminals 4-5.
2. Make calibration using the calibration parameter C6. (When using the FR-PU04,
make calibration with Pr. 904.)
3. Apply the output current of 100% detector setting (e.g. 20mA) across terminals 4-5.
4. Make calibration using the calibration parameter C7. (When using the FR-PU04,
make calibration with Pr. 905.)
Note: The frequencies set in the calibration parameter C5 and Pr. 39 should be equal
to those set in the calibration parameter C2 and Pr. 38, respectively.
The results of the above calibration are as shown below:

REMARKS
• If the multi-speed (RH, RM, RL) signal or jog operation (jog) signal is entered,
PID control is stopped and multi-speed or jog operation is started.
• When the terminal functions are changed using Pr. 60 to Pr. 65, the other
functions may be affected. Confirm the functions of the corresponding terminals
before making settings.
• When PID control is selected, the minimum frequency is the frequency set in the
calibration parameter C2 and the maximum frequency is the frequency set in
Pr. 38. (The Pr. 1 "maximum frequency" and Pr. 2 "minimum frequency" settings
are also valid.)

2.12 Calibration Parameters

2.12.1 Meter (frequency meter) calibration
(Japanese version)
By using the control panel or parameter unit, you can calibrate a analog meter
connected to terminal FM to full scale deflection.
Terminal FM provides the pulse output. By setting the calibration parameter
C1, you can use the parameter to calibrate the analog meter connected to the
inverter without providing a calibration resistor.

FM terminal Setting is enabled when

REMARKS
• Depending on the set value, it may take some for the needle to move.
• If "1" is set in Pr. 30 "extended function display selection", the calibration parameter
C1 "FM terminal calibration" can also be set in the external operation mode.
• C1 is factory-set to 1mA full-scale or 1440 pulses/s FM output frequency at 60Hz.
The maximum pulse train output of terminal FM is 2400 pulses/s.
• When a frequency meter is connected across terminals FM-SD to monitor the
running frequency, the FM terminal output is filled to capacity at the factory
setting if the maximum output frequency reaches or exceeds 100Hz. In this case,
the Pr. 55 setting must be changed to the maximum frequency.
• When the FR-PU04 is used, make calibration with Pr. 900.
POINT
By setting the Pr. 54 "FM terminal function selection" value, preset Pr. 55 "frequency
monitoring reference" or Pr. 56 "current monitoring reference" to the running
frequency or current value at which the output signal is 1440 pulses/s.
At 1440 pulses/s, the meter generally deflects to full-scale.
2.12.2 Meter (frequency meter) calibration

(NA and EC version)
The AM terminal is factory-set to provide 5VDC output in the full-scale status of
each monitor item. However, calibration parameter C1 can be used to adjust the
output voltage ratio (gain) according to the meter scale. Note that the maximum
output voltage is 5VDC.

2) Inverter station number
Specify the station number of the inverter which communicates with the computer.
3) Instruction code
Specify the processing request, e.g. operation, monitoring, given by the computer to
the inverter. Hence, the inverter can be run and monitored in various ways by
specifying the instruction code as appropriate. (Refer to page 177.)
4) Data
Indicates the data such as frequency and parameters transferred to and from the
inverter. The definitions and ranges of set data are determined in accordance with
the instruction codes. (Refer to page 177.)
122

5) Waiting time
Specify the waiting time between the receipt of data at the inverter from the
computer and the transmission of reply data. Set the waiting time in accordance
with the response time of the computer between 0 and 150ms in 10ms increments
(e.g. 1 = 10ms, 2 = 20ms).

8) Error code
If any error is found in the data received by the inverter, its definition is sent back to
the computer together with the NAK code. (Refer to page 128.)
REMARKS
1. When the data from the computer has an error, the inverter will not accept that
data.
2. Any data communication, e.g. run command, monitoring, is started when the
computer gives a communication request. Without the computer's command, the
inverter does not return any data. For monitoring, therefore, design the program
to cause the computer to provide a data read request as required.
3. When accessing the parameter settings, data for link parameter expansion
setting differs between the parameters as indicated below:

124

CAUTION
When the inverter's permissible communication time interval is not set,
interlocks are provided to disable operation to prevent hazardous conditions.
Always set the communication check time interval before starting operation.
Data communication is not started automatically but is made only once when
the computer provides a communication request. If communication is disabled
during operation due to signal cable breakage etc, the inverter cannot be
stopped. When the communication check time interval has elapsed, the inverter
will come to an alarm stop (OPT).
The inverter can be coasted to a stop by switching on its RES signal or by
switching power off.
If communication is broken due to signal cable breakage, computer fault etc, the
inverter does not detect such a fault. This should be fully noted.

3.1 Errors (Alarms)
If any fault has occurred in the inverter, the corresponding protective function is
activated to bring the inverter to an alarm stop and automatically give the
corresponding error (alarm) indication on the PU display.
If your fault does not correspond to any of the following errors or if you have any other
problem, please contact your sales representative.
Retention of alarm output signal......When the magnetic contactor (MC) provided on
the power supply side of the inverter is opened
at the activation of the protective function, the
inverter's control power will be lost and the
alarm output will not be held.
Alarm indication...............................When the protective function is activated, the
operation panel display automatically switches
to the above indication.
Resetting method ............................When the protective function is activated, the
inverter output is kept stopped. Unless reset,
therefore, the inverter cannot restart. Switch
power off once, then on again; power off once,
then on again; or apply RES signal for more
than 0.1 second. Kept on, "Err." appears
(flickers) to indicate that the inverter is being
reset.
When the protective function is activated, take the corresponding corrective action,
then reset the inverter, and resume operation.

3.3 Precautions for Maintenance and Inspection
The inverter is a static unit mainly consisting of semiconductor devices. Daily
inspection must be performed to prevent any fault from occurring due to adverse
influence of the operating environment, such as temperature, humidity, dust, dirt and
vibration, changes in the parts with time, service life, and other factors.
3.3.1 Precautions for maintenance and inspection

For some short time after the power is switched off, a high voltage remains in the
smoothing capacitor. Therefore, when more than 10 minutes have elapsed after
power-off, make sure that the voltage across the main circuit terminals P-N of the
inverter is 30VDC or less using a meter, etc. Then, access the inverter for inspection.
3.3.2 Check items

(1) Daily inspection
• Check the following:
1) Motor operation fault
2) Improper installation environment
3) Cooling system fault
4) Unusual vibration and noise
5) Unusual overheating and discoloration
• During operation, check the inverter input voltages using a meter.
(2) Cleaning
Always run the inverter in a clean state.
When cleaning the inverter, gently wipe dirty areas with a soft cloth immersed in
neutral detergent or ethanol.
CAUTION
Do not use solvent, such as acetone, benzene, toluene and alcohol, as they will
cause the inverter surface paint to peel off.
3.3.3 Periodic inspection

Check the areas inaccessible during operation and requiring periodic inspection.
1) Cooling system:..........Clean the air filter, etc.
2) Screws and bolts: .......These parts may become loose due to vibration,
temperature changes, etc. Check that they are tightened
securely and retighten as necessary.
3) Conductors and insulating materials: Check for corrosion and damage.
4) Insulation resistance: Measure.
5) Cooling fan, smoothing capacitor, relay: Check and change if necessary.
149

3.3.4 Insulation resistance test using megger
1) Before performing the insulation resistance test using a megger on the external
circuit, disconnect the cables from all terminals of the inverter so that the test
voltage is not applied to the inverter.
2) For the continuity test of the control circuit, use a meter (high resistance range) and
do not use the megger or buzzer.
3) For the inverter, conduct the insulation resistance test on the main circuit only as
shown below and do not perform the test on the control circuit. (Use a 500VDC
megger.)

<Preparation>
(1) Disconnect the external power supply cables (R, S, T) and motor cables (U, V, W).
(2) Prepare a meter. (Use 100Ω range.)
<Checking method>
Change the polarity of the meter alternately at the inverter terminals R, S,
T, U, V, W, P and N, and check for continuity.
CAUTION
Before measurement, check that the smoothing capacitor is discharged.
At the time of continuity, the measured value is several to several ten's-of ohms
depending on the number of modules, number of parallel modules, circuit tester
type, etc. If all measured values are almost the same, the modules are without
fault.

3.3.7 Replacement of parts
The inverter consists of many electronic parts such as semiconductor devices.
The following parts may deteriorate with age because of their structural or physical
characteristics, leading to reduced performance and/or failure of the inverter. For
preventive maintenance, the parts must be changed periodically.
Standard Replacement
Part Name Description
Interval
Cooling fan 2 to 3 years Change (as required)
Smoothing capacitor in main circuit 5 years Change (as required)
Smoothing capacitor on control board 5 years Change the board (as required).
Relays ——— Change as required
CAUTION
For parts replacement, consult the nearest Mitsubishi FA Center.
(1) Cooling fan

The cooling fan used to cool heat-generating parts such as the main circuit
semiconductors has a bearing whose life is said to be 10,000 to 35,000 hours. Hence,
the cooling fan must be changed every 2 to 3 years if the inverter is run continuously.
When unusual noise and/or vibration is noticed during inspection, the cooling fan must
be changed immediately.

Removal
1) Remove the front cover and wiring
cover. (Refer to the instruction
manual (basic).)
2) Unplug the fan connector.
The cooling fan is connected with
the cooling fan connector on the
side of the inverter terminal block.
Unplug the connector to disconnect AIR FLOW
the inverter and cooling fan.
3) Remove the cooling fan cover.
Remove the cover by disengaging
the fixing catches indicated by the
arrows.
4) Remove the cooling fan and cooling fan cover.

The cooling fan is secured by the fixing catches.
Disengaging the fixing catches removes the cooling fan and cooling fan cover.
Reinstallation
1) After confirming the orientation of
the fan, reinstall the fan to the cover
so that the arrow on the left of "AIR
FLOW" faces in the opposite
direction of the fan cover.
CAUTION
If the air flow is set in the wrong
direction, the inverter life can be shorter.
2) Reinstall the fan cover to the inverter.

Run the cable through the wiring
groove to prevent it from being caught
between the chassis and cover.
3) Reconnect the cable to the connector.
4) Reinstall the wiring cover.
155

(2) Smoothing capacitors
A large-capacity aluminum electrolytic capacitor is used for smoothing the DC in the
main circuit, and an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is also used for stabilizing the
control power in the control circuit.
Their characteristics are adversely affected by ripple current, etc. When the inverter is
operated in an ordinary, air-conditioned environment, change the capacitors about
every 5 years. When 5 years have elapsed, the capacitors will deteriorate more
rapidly. Check the capacitors at least every year (less than six months if the life will be
expired soon). Check the following:
1) Case (side faces and bottom face for expansion)
2) Sealing plate (for remarkable warp and extreme crack)
3) Appearance, external cracks, discoloration, leakage.
When the measured capacitance of the capacitor has reduced below 85% of the
rating, change the capacitor.
(3) Relays
To prevent a contact fault, etc., relays must be changed according to the number of
accumulative switching times (switching life).

5.1 Selecting Instructions
(1) Inverter capacity selection
When a special motor is run or multiple motors are run in parallel by one inverter,
choose the inverter capacity so that the sum of the rated motor currents (at 50Hz)
will be not more than the rated output current of the inverter.
(2) Motor starting torque
The starting and acceleration characteristics of an inverter-driven motor are
restricted by the overload capacity of the inverter used. The torque characteristic
is generally smaller than at a start made by the commercial power supply. When
large starting torque is necessary, choose automatic torque boost control (set the
motor capacity in Pr. 98) or adjust the torque boost value. If these selection and
adjustment cannot develop enough torque, choose a one rank higher inverter
capacity or increase both the motor and inverter capacities.
(3) Acceleration/deceleration time
The acceleration/deceleration time of the motor is determined by the motor-
generated torque, load torque and load's inertia moment (J).
If the current limit or stall prevention function is activated during
acceleration/deceleration, the time may increase, so change the
acceleration/deceleration time setting to a little longer value.
When you want to shorten the acceleration/deceleration time, increase the
torque boost value (if you set a too large value, the stall prevention function will
be activated at a start, resulting in increased acceleration/deceleration time),
use automatic torque boost control, or increase the inverter and motor
capacities.
5.2 Peripheral Selecting Instructions

(1) Installation and selection of no-fuse breaker
To protect the inverter's primary side wiring, install a no-fuse breaker (NFB) on the
power receiving side. For selection of the NFB, refer to page 13 as it depends on
the power supply side power factor (which changes with the power supply voltage,
output frequency and load) of the inverter. Especially, a little larger capacity must
be chosen for a completely electromagnetic type NFB because its operation
characteristic changes with harmonic currents. Also, use the earth leakage circuit
breaker of our harmonic/surge suppression product. (Refer to page 15)
171

(2) Handling of primary side magnetic contactor
When the external terminal is used (terminal STF or STR is used) for operation,
provide a primary side MC to prevent accidents due to an automatic restart at
power restoration after a power failure, such as an instantaneous power failure,
and to ensure safety in maintenance work. Do not use this MC to make frequent
starts and stops. (The switching life of the inverter input circuit is about 100,000
times.)
For parameter unit operation, an automatic restart after power failure is not
made and the MC cannot be used to make a start. Note that the primary side
MC may be used to make a stop but the motor will coast to a stop.
(3) Handling of secondary side magnetic contactor

In principle, do not provide a magnetic contactor between the inverter and motor
and switch it from off to on during operation. If it is switched on during inverter
operation, a large inrush current may flow, stopping the inverter due to overcurrent
shut-off. When an MC is provided for switching to the commercial power supply,
for example, switch it on/off after the inverter and motor have stopped.
(4) Installation of thermal relay

To protect the motor from overheat, the inverter has the protective functions using
electronic overcurrent protection. However, when multiple motors are run by a
single inverter or a multi-pole motor is run (for example), provide a thermal relay
(OCR) between the inverter and motor. In this case, set the electronic overcurrent
protection of the inverter to 0A, and set the thermal relay by adding a line-to-line
leakage current (refer to page 16) to 1.0 times the current value at 50Hz given on
the motor rating plate or 1.1 times the current value at 60Hz
(5) Disuse of power factor improving capacitor (power capacitor)

The power factor improving capacitor and surge suppressor on the inverter output
side may be overheated or damaged by the harmonic contents of the inverter
output. In addition, do not provide a capacitor and surge suppressor since
excessive currents will flow in the inverter to active overcurrent protection. To
improve the power factor, use a power factor improving reactor.
(6) Secondary side measuring instruments

If inverter-to-motor wiring is long, the measuring instruments and CT may
generate heat under the influence of line-to-line leakage currents. To prevent this,
choose the instruments which have allowances for current ratings.
(7) About electromagnetic wave interference
The inputs/outputs of the inverter's main circuit include harmonic content and may
interfere with communications apparatus (AM radios) and sensors used near the
inverter. In this case, installing the FR-BIF radio noise filter (for use on input side
only) or FR-BSF01 or FR-BLF line noise filter reduces interference.
172

(8) Cable thickness and wiring distance
If the inverter-to-motor wiring distance is long, the motor torque will decrease
due to a voltage drop in the main circuit cables especially at low frequency
output. Use thick cables for wiring to make a voltage drop less than 2%. (A
selection example for the wiring distance of 20m (65.62feet) is given on page
11.)
For remote operation using analog signals, the control cable between operator
box or operator signal and inverter should be less than 30m (98.43feet) and
wire the cable away from the power circuit to avoid induction from other
equipment.
When using the external potentiometer to set the frequency, use a shielded or
twisted cable, and do not earth the shield, but connect it to terminal 5 as shown
below.

Grounding
When the inverter is run in the low acoustic noise mode, high-speed switching will
generate more leakage currents than in the non-low acoustic noise mode. Always
ground the inverter and motor. In addition, always use the ground terminal of the
inverter to ground the inverter.
5.3 Operating Instructions

(1) Operation
When a magnetic contactor (MC) is provided on the primary side, do not use
this MC to make frequent starts/stops. Doing so can cause the inverter to fail.
When an alarm occurs in the inverter, the protective function is activated to stop
the output. However, at this time, the motor cannot be brought to a sudden
stop. Hence, provide a mechanical stopping/holding mechanism for the
machine/equipment which requires an emergency stop.
Since the capacitor needs time to discharge, do not start inspection
immediately after powering off the inverter. More than 10 minutes after power-
off, make sure that there are no residual voltages with a multimeter etc. before
stating inspection.
(2) Wiring
Application of power to the output terminals (U, V, W) of the inverter will
damage the inverter circuit. Hence, before power-on, fully check the wiring and
sequence for incorrect wiring and so on.
Terminals P<+> and P1 are designed to connect a dedicated option. Do not
connect any equipment other than the dedicated option. In addition, do not
short the frequency setting power supply terminal 10 and common terminal 5,
and terminals PC-SD.
173

(3) Installation
Avoid hostile environment where oil mist, fluff, dust etc. are floating, and install
the inverter in a clean place or put it within an enclosed box where floating
bodies will not enter. When placing the inverter inside a box, determine the
cooling system and box dimensions so that the ambient temperature of the
inverter will fall within the permissible temperature range (refer to page 166 for
the specified value).
The inverter may become hot locally, so do not mount it to combustible material
such as wood.
Mount the inverter to a wall in a vertical direction.
(4) Setting
By setting the operation panel, the inverter can be run at the speed as high as
120Hz. Therefore, wrong setting will lead to hazardous conditions. Using the
maximum frequency setting function, set the upper limit.
(The maximum frequency in the external operation mode is factory-set to
60Hz.)
Setting the DC injection brake operation voltage and operation time to values
higher than the factory settings can cause the motor to overheat (electronic
overcurrent protection trip).
(5) Power supply
When the inverter is installed near a large-capacity power transformer (500kVA
or more at the wiring length of 10m (32.81feet) or less) or the power capacitor is
to be switched, an excessive peak current will flow in the power supply input
circuit, damaging the inverter. In such a case, always install the FR-BEL or FR-
BAL power factor improving reactor.

If a surge voltage occurs in the power supply system, this surge energy may
flow into the inverter, causing the inverter to display OV1, OV2 or OV3 and
come to an alarm stop. In such a case, also install the FR-BEL or FR-BAL
power factor improving reactor.

5.4 Inverter-driven 400V class motor
In the PWM type inverter, a surge voltage attributable to wiring constants is generated
at the motor terminals. Especially for a 400V class motor, the surge voltage may
deteriorate the insulation. When the 400V class motor is driven by the inverter,
consider the following measures:
# Measures
It is recommended to take either of the following measures:
(1) Rectifying the motor insulation
For the 400V class motor, use an insulation-rectified motor. Specifically
1) Specify the "400V class inverter-driven, insulation-rectified motor".
2) For the dedicated motor such as the constant-torque motor and low-vibration
motor, use the "inverter-driven, dedicated motor".
(2) Suppressing the surge voltage on the inverter side

On the secondary side of the inverter, connect the optional surge voltage
suppression filter (FR-ASF-H).
